Poe Clue #6 On his last night in Richmond he was pale and had a fever. He came to my house on the evening of the 26th of September to take leave of me-- He was very sad, and complained of being quite sick; I felt his pulse, and found he had considerable fever, and did not think it probable that he would be able to start the next morning, (Thursday) as he anticipated-- I felt so wretched about him all of that night, that I went up early the next morning to enquire after him, when, much to my regret, eh had left in the boat for Baltimore. --Elmira Royster Shelton (Poe's fiancee), Letter to Maria Clemm, October 11, 1848
